Chapter 8 - Chapter 08: "Reaching the hideout of the slave traders."

"But.."

"We don't have time to speak ,We must endure until we reach our destination." Jhon interrupted Harry."The boat started moving at a high speed due to the strong current."

"Is that bad or good"

"This depends on us." Jhon saw a rook in front of them,"give me the oar"

"Do you want to row now?"

"There is a rook in front of us,I need to change the direction of the boat." Harry gave him the oar,John then used the oar to make the boat tilt left away from the rock.

"We survived."Harry said immediately after the boat safely passed the rock.

"Was it necessary for you to say that?"He said as if reprimanding him.

"What is happening?" Harry spoke, and the words got stuck in his throat.

"Look" Jhon pointed with his finger in front of them.

Harry looked, There was a giant waterfall in front of them.

""Now I understand why the current became strong suddenly." Jhon said "Yes, did you forget to tell me that there's a giant waterfall here?"

"I told you this place was filled with monsters, that's why I've never been here before."

"Look, there's the statue; our sought-after goal is beneath the waterfall." Jhon pointed his finger into the statue.

""Yes, I know, but do you think we'll survive if we fall from this waterfall?" Harry panicked.

"There is no other option, I hope you're good at swimming."

Harry looked at John as if he couldn't believe what was happening.

The current is getting stronger, the boat is moving faster, approaching the waterfall more rapidly.

"You have to jump from the boat" Jhon said

"I don't think I can" Harry said.

"You have too" Jhon placed his hand on his shoulder to reassure him."just don't panic"John sheathed his sword. And looked ahead. When the boat reached the waterfall."now,jump" Jhon said,and jumped. Harry couldn't and remained in the boat. The boat plummeted swiftly،" You are really coward Harry" jhon said while he was in the air.

"Safe me jhon,I couldn't jump"

John collided with the water, followed by the boat, creating a loud splash. Surely, anyone near the waterfall would have heard it. Immediately, John swam towards the boat. Unable to find Harry, he noticed blood in the water around the boat. Looking downward, he saw Harry continuing to descend. He swam directly towards him, reached him, found him unconscious, grabbed him, and started swimming upward.

John managed to reach the surface and found Harry unable to breathe. He began pressing on his chest to expel the water from his lungs.

"I won't perform CPR for you, so you must wake up or you'll die."John said, addressing Harry.

Harry stood up, coughing, and vomited the water. Harry had been coughing for 5 minutes,.

"How were you traveling at sea when you can't swim?" John said with emotion. Harry was breathing heavily. "I feel like we're being watched." Jhon put his hand on his sword. As they emerged from the river, they found themselves in a place with tall trees, and it seemed beautiful. However, John, as usual, thought that tranquility meant danger, and he believed that someone was hiding there, waiting for an opportunity to attack.

A person emerged from behind the bushes, dressed in black with a bow and arrow aimed at John and Harry.

Before releasing the arrow, John swiftly threw a dagger, piercing the man's throat, causing him to fall.

"What?" Harry said.

John rushed towards the man. He was bald and struggling to breathe heavily.

"I wanted to leave him alive,to know more details from him.but I've grown accustomed to inflicting lethal injuries on my enemies." Jhon said.

"How did know that he is one of them,you killed him without hesitation." Harry said "what if wasn't work with the slave traders"

"We are in the battlefield, if we hesitated we could've been dead instead of him." Jhon said coldly "and his clothes and weapons belong to the Slave traders"

"I hope so" Harry said sadly.

Jhon didn't answered, he just went to the river, then he saw a lot of men,were looking in the place where the boat fell .

"Were they aware that we were coming, or was it the sound of the fall that attracted them?" Jhon said .

Harry moved fast to see them."they are a lot of men" Harry said.

"They are about 15 people, and that's a large number to investigate the sound source. The waterfall always drops large items and makes noise. I think they knew we were coming." Jhon said as I he was asking Harry.

"I think they know from randy"

"This is unlikely. Frandy is injured and won't be able to reach them. Even if they went to him, they couldn't return this quickly."

"What do you try to mean Jhon" Harry said angrily.

"I am just saying Harry"

"My wife won't say anything " Harry said.

"I don't care,I will kill them all anyway "

One of the men saw Harry, he pointed his finger into Harry and Jhon place.

"They find us"
